Engine for Lanier 1/3 Scale Extra 300
A friend just picked up a Lanier Extra 300. He wants a twin cylinder and was considering the Zenoah 80.
Has anyone flown this combo or anything similar (H9 Cap, 300)?
He wants 3D, Hover performance!
Is there a better engine? Of course he is on a budget!
Thanks,
Joe

Your friend will want to consider the Godfrey mods to this plane. You do NOT want to build it with the plastic turtledeck, cowl & wheelpants.
Modifications are also necessary to the rudder and elevators if you want to do 3D.
I have one modified and powered with a BME 102. Flies pattern very well. I am not yet 3D capable, but will be increasing those throws soon.
